That was the deal. Every year, Livvy Kane and Nicholas
Chandler would share one perfect night of illicit
pleasure. The forbidden hours let them forget the tragedy
that haunted their pasts—and the last names that made
them enemies.

Until the night she didn’t show up.

Now Nicholas has an empire to run. He doesn’t have time
for distractions and Livvy’s sudden reappearance in town
is a major distraction. She’s the one woman he shouldn’t
want . . . so why can’t he forget how right she feels in
his bed?

Livvy didn’t come home for Nicholas, but fate seems
determined to remind her of his presence—and their past.
Although the passion between them might have once run hot
and deep, not even love can overcome the scandal that
divided their families.

Being together might be against all the rules . . . but
being apart is impossible.
